Museums & palaces · Corfu · ★★★★☆
Home of the Gorgon of Corfu, the pediment of the Temple of Artemis from about 580 BC and among the oldest stone pediments in Greece, with the Lion of Menecrates and finds from ancient Kerkyra. A small state museum, a short walk south of the Spianada.
Allow about an hour and a half. It is usually quiet, so you may have the Gorgon pediment almost to yourself, and it is wheelchair accessible. The Town Hall bus stop is about 180 m away. The old town begins 500 m to the north, and the Old Fortress is 700 m.
